The relationship of community mental health centers to the professional standards review organizations program.

Given the realities of the professional standards review organization (PSRO) program and the necessity for accountability on the part of all health service providers, community mental health centers (CMHCs) should begin now to take an active role in planning their involvement in the PSRO program. The author points out the need for both psychiatrists and nonphysician professionals to become involved. There are many types of mental health services delivered in a given area, and the active involvement of CMHCs can be a major determinant of the shape and direction of this impact.

PSRO: current status of the professional standards review organization program.

Since Public Law 92-603 was enacted in October 1972 considerable progress has been made in the establishment of Professional Standards Review Organizations (PSROs) for the purpose of determining the necessity, appropriateness, and quality of medical care provided beneficiaries of the major programs authorized in the Social Security Act. Sixty-five conditional PSROs are implementing review in acute care hospitals in their geographic area, and 55 planning groups are developing plans to qualify for conditional PSRO designation. The PSRO hospital review system is based on three interrelated review mechanisms. These are concurrent review, which includes admission certification, and continued stay review through discharge; medical care evaluation studies; and analysis of hospital, practitioner, and patient profiles. This article describes the review system in some detail and the potential opportunities the PSRO program offers to occupational therapists.

Continuing medical education and the Professional Standards Review Organizations.

The history of continuing medical education (CME) activities in the United States originates in the early years of this century. CME programs have increased markedly in recent decades, but these activities have come to be viewed from many perspectives as inadequate. Recently, the Professional Standards Review Organization (PSRO's) have been proposed as a "solution" to the problems of CME. PSRO's may provide useful data to CME programs and could serve as mechanisms for evaluating these activities. Features of medical care problems which identify them as suitable subjects for CME activities using PSRO data are presented and discussed.
